Comment on Michelle Meagher’s Photographs of Ireland. Beautiful pictures, Michelle. My wife and I have been to Ireland four times, and have many of the ones you took. Each time we visit we end up taking about 1,000 photos. We have so many images that we’ve done travelogues. You have a great eye for the great shot. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the one of Westport [pictured above]. – Ken, posted online September 30
The Business 100 Comments on our annual list of Irish corporate chieftains. As I read “The First Word” in the Dec./Jan. issue, I couldn’t help but wonder how many of the Business 100 honorees helped to decrease my little pension from 2007 to its current amount? I think quite a few had a part in it (however small or large). Money isn’t everything – unless you need it to live. J. Bourke Milwaukee, Wisconsin
